A Beneficial Uses Work Group, composed of representatives from - _state and federal resource agencies and the Port of Houston, has been formed to develop a disposal plan that utilizes dredged materials.taken from the Houston Ship Channel widening and deepening in a manner that will protect and enhance Galveston Bay. -In November 1989, Harris County -voters approved local funding for widening and deepening the Houston -Ship Channel with 63 `percent of the electorate voting'for,the bond issue.

Possible beneficial uses.of channel material include: o wetland restoration, creation or enhancement. o marine and wildlife habitat restoration or enhancement _ o creation of recreational amenities o restoration of areas lost to subsidence or storms o stabilization and renovation of disposal areas o erosion protection Over approximately the next four months, the Beneficial Uses Work Group will solicit recommendations from interested parties for the best uses of dredged materials. Suggestions will be ,judged by criteria such as net environmental benefits, demon- `-strated feasibility, impact on hydrodynamics of the Bay, maintenance requirements and user group inpacts. `The Beneficial Uses Work Group findings and recommendations will undergo environmental, engineering and economic reviews before a final disposal plan is selected. That plan will be incorporated into the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for -the channel widening and deepening.

A work group of federal and state resource agencies is seeking public participation in developing recommended beneficial uses of the dredged material which will be produced during the project. The Beneficial Uses program allows Bay users and other interested parties to participate in the enhancement and restoration of portions of Galveston Bay. With federal approval, the channel will be widened from 400 feet to 530 feet and deepened from 40 feet to 45 feet. The project will require removal of 72 million cubic yards of material — mostly virgin clay — from the ship channel's floor. The. Possibilities ' The Beneficial Uses program., provides unique opportunities to benefit,:Oalveston Bay. Potential beneficial. uses for channel material include restoration, creation. or enhancementi of marine and wildlife habitats; creation of wetlands, restoration of features lost to storms or sub- sidence; creation or enhancement of recreation amenities; and erosion protection. Recreational opportunities such as sailing abound in Galveston Bay. oredged materials were used to create this salt marsh in Galveston Bay. Involvement by Galveston Bay users and other interested citizens is critical. For more information and/or an opportunity to partici- pate in the work group's efforts, write: • Richard F.

Among them are: loss of public lands and facilities such as parks, roads and bridges, loss of private lands and facilities, increased turbidity of surrounding waters and consequent reduction of natural productivity, subsequent deposition of the eroded material in places where it is not desireable, such as in natural and man-made channels, and eventual disintegration of structures such as levees and berms designed to contain and protect Dredged Material Disposal Sites. SOLUTION: Using Dredged Material to save and protect an eroding shoreline may take several forms depending upon the site -specific situation in each case. a. Wind Driven Wave Erosion - Along a shoreline which is near deep water, but with sufficient space to work, Dredged Material of proper quality could be placed so that a shallow foreshore area is produced which could support SSpartina alterniflora and other vegetation to reduce the force of waves as they approach the shore. Another tactic is to use Dredged Material to build up barrier islands at some distance from the eroding shoreline in order to reduce the "fetch" across which wind acts to build waves, thus reducing the size and consequent impact of waves reaching the shore being affected. Combinations of these plus "armoring" of some type to provide stablization until plantings can reach maturity may prove most feasible in many cases. b. Vessel Driven Wave Erosion - Shorelines exposed to frequent disturbance by wakes of large and/or fast moving vessels may require rebuilding behind "armored" (rip -rapped) berms and levees, behind which Dredged Materials may be deposited to provide foundation for natural plantings. NOTE: This project is an excellent example of the type and would lend itself well to "Recreation Enhancement". EXAMPLE: CHART NO. 1 - Northwest Shoreline of Scott Bay 2. 2. RESTORATION OF SUBSIDED AREAS PROBLEM: During the past 50 to 80 years SUBSIDENCE, whether by natural occurence or man caused, has drowned marshes, swamps, and up- lands, which as a result have become less productive and provide less habitat for wildlife, has disrupted agricultural and urban activities, has caused loss of tax base, and has placed at risk public works and facilities. In most local sites intrusion of salt water has changed much former fresh and brackish swamp, marsh, and shallow bay habitat onto brackish or salty, open bay habitat. Former, highly productive, shallow bay bottom which sustained marine grasses, algae and phytoplankton in sheltered clear water now may lie 9' to 12' deeper, covered by open turbid water which excludes the sunlight necessary for plant growth. SOLUTION: a. Restore by bringing the bay bottom back up to its former level with Dredged Material of proper type and providing for protection of the area from constant agitation by ship wakes or wind driven wave action with Berm or Barrier Island construction. Clear water is the key to succesful re -introduction of submerged marine plants in the restored area because of photosynthesis requirements.. b. Build up to intertidal level, areas of former marsh. Protect with low berms until marshplants are well established. Build barrier islands to protect area from ship wakes and wind action. In areas large enough to permit doing so, build "inter - islands" with a maximum height above mean high tide of 3' to 5'; 1/2 to 2 acres in extent, which will sustain plants which can tolerate high salinities. Such "islands" can be managed to provide various types of nesting habitat for birds ranging from shorebirds, to wading birds and ducks, to songbirds and raptors. Small interior spaces within the project area should be left at 1' to 3' below low tide level as "potholes" which will always remain as open water and should be connected by meandering channels to provide water exchange. EXAMPLE: Chart No.2 - Western Portion of Burnet Bay km • 3. Fish & Wildlife Habitat - Restore,.Enhance, Establish PROBLEM: In its diversity, habitat for Fish & Wildlife species encompasses the entirety of the earth. Complexity and range of specific requirements in many cases, is incompletely understood, and duplication of former habitat may only be approximated. In most cases, as a starting point for the natural processes which ultimately define the final habitat. Fish habitat may be a small pool of water or may be as complex .as the Gulf of Mexico. Wildlife habitat, depending upon the "wildlife" which live in it, is equally complex and attracting specific animals to a given site can prove complicated and expensive. Narrowing the problem, by limiting it to sites which may be "helped" by using Dredged Materials, removes none of its complexity. Sites amenable to treatment as potential fish/wildlife habitat by application.of Dredged Material are limited by the equipment used in the delivery of the material to the location and by the logistical problems associated with monitoring and management over time. Many species of wildlife require habitat which is remote from human disturbance and intrusion. Ground nesting shorebirds require areas which are reasonably free of predator species which may break up nests or prey upon hatchlings. Many of the wading birds such as herons and egrets, may nest only in substantial shrubs or trees in isolated locations. Subsided areas of former swamp could be treated similarly to former marsh, but would provide "new marsh" rather than swamp because of salinity changes brought about by reduced fresh water flows and salt water intrusion. "New Swamp" would require inflows of fresh water which might be provided from sewage treatment plant outf alls and protected from salt water intrusion by levees built from dredged materials. Tidal flow control structures would be needed to regulate fresh water outflow from the swamp. Units such as this would give a "final polish" to waste waters before they are released into the bay system. SOLUTION: Habitat for fish spans a broad range of needs: spawning areas, cover for larvae and fry, and feeding and resting places for adults. In our bay region many of these essential needs are met by salt marsh ecosystem, associated channels and bayous, and swamps. Oyster reefs provide feeding/resting grounds for many fish species. Restoring a subsided area with re-establishment of swamp, salt marsh, channels, and an oyster reef at the channel mouth could -provide new, improved, and restored habitat for fish species. Habitat for "wildlife", in this instance, birds, can be made a part of the erosion protection portion of the same project by building barrier island structures to protect the marsh from prevailing winds. These can be built upon subsided remnants of former islands and planted with appropriate species of trees and shrubs. EXAMPLE: Chart No.3 - Lower Portion of San Jacinto River 4. 0 r 4. Wetlands - Restoration, Enhancement, Establishment PROBLEM: Wetlands of all types have been lost for a variety of reasons in recent times. Man's activities have most often been the cause. This loss is un-desireable because our wetlands are among the most productive areas on our planet, often ranking above Rain Forests. Productivity of our estuaries,- bays and oceans ultimately derives from wetlands. SOLUTION: Choose sites with care, then place, remove or re -shape Dredged Materials to provide conditions required to sustain wetlands habitat type desired. Considerable initial intensive management of the sites may be required to effect desired results, but efforts should be directed toward LESS management over time rather than more. a. Landscaping (or "landshaping", not beautification) of existing Dredged Material Disposal Sites and subsequent management of these sites can provide "New Wetlands". Many of these sites are in locations where former wetlands, in the form of marsh or swamp, once existed and with management wetlands may be established once again. b. Enhancement of existing wetlands which may be suffering from encroachment/degradation by activities in the near proximity can be protected by establishment of levees or berms which, for example, could buffer the effects of an oil or chemical spill. Raising "Islands" within an existing wetland (with Dredged Material) could bring diversity to the floral and faunal community of the area. Done with skill and with due regard for the site specific needs of the natural community, considerable enhancement might be realized. Example: Chart No.4 - Mythical Site Near Oil Loading Facility 5. 0 • 5. Recreation Area - PROBLEM: As human population grows and stressful pressures increase, our need for recreation sites near urban areas becomes more critical. Need for access to sites which have water associated with them is demonstrated by the lengths to which people go to find such places and their acceptance of locations which, to say the least, are esthetically un-pleasing and which actually may be un-safe. Along our bayous, creeks, canals, and bayfront, public access has been restricted by private and public development. Well maintained public boat ramps, near urban centers, are in short supply in these times of need for fuel conservation. Protected anchorages for cruising boaters within a day's sailing -distance from home are also not plentiful. SOLUTION: Most projects which could benefit from the use of Dredged Material lend themselves to the inclusion of Recreational Uses among their planning criteria. In some cases, as with development of habitat for nesting birds, human intrusion at critical times must be excluded, but may be permitted at others. Marsh and swamp being developed or re-established should include access by trail or boat for birders, educators and others. Dredged Material can be used to construct and protect new and existing boat launch and parking facilities in areas where subsidence or erosion has caused their loss or prevented their development. Enhancement of existing public recreation sites with Dredged Material used to replace material lost due to erosion or to raise selected subsided portions of a site above tidal intrusion should be considered. Strategic re-establishment of barrier islands to reduce fetch and protect vulnerable shoreline may also serve to provide sheltered anchorages. EXAMPLE: Chart No.5 - City of Baytown, Brownwood Park, Brownwood Peninsula 0 • 6. 6. Existing Disposal Area - Stabilize/Renovate (the Atkinson Island Disposal Site -cells 14 & 15) PROBLEM: In this instance a specific site has been chosen as an example because it is considered by many to be "A Problem Bear", but, unlike most bears, it can't be trapped and removed to another location. The complete history of the Atkinson Island site is not known. Atkinson Island was not a natural island in the beginning. It is isolated at the north end of Galveston Bay, from the penninsula known today as Morgan's Point, by the ship channel. Northernmost portions of it are in private ownership and contain some sensitive marsh and upland areas. The containment cells, as originally designed, extend as a long, narrow confinement area for approximately 4 miles southward, ending at 5-mile cut. Some time ago, due to subsidence, combined with wave erosion by prevailing southerly and easterly winds, some of the dredged materials were spread on the east side of the site, into a localized area of the upper bay. Subsequent deposition of material, by design, was allowed to spread into the open bay. This placement, it was thought, should provide intertidal substrate upon which marsh plants would establish. Further subsidence and continued erosion caused by wave action prevented their complete establishment. Erosion is continuing due to the exposed nature of the site. Where some protection is afforded by heavier materials, marsh is flourishing. SOLUTION: Use land borne equipment to build small containment cells by "borrowing" material from the existing remaining cell walls and placing it in the area adjacent to 5-mile cut. When materials are in place and consolidated, using small suction dredge equipment, remove the "spilled" material from the cut and the open bay bottom (which now may be several feet lower than original) along the east side of the site, placing it into the re -built cells and allowing time for de -watering. Temporary protection for the re -built cell walls can be provided by placement of "armor". Provision for long term protection will be made by placement of virgin material from the HG-50 Project along the completed east side to provide firmer soil material upon which to plant marsh grasses as protection and to build "new" marsh to mitigate the loss of existing and former marsh. An alternative which could be considered would be use of virgin material from the HG-50 project to surround the "spilled material". 'The entire site could then become the basic element for constructing new wetlands and fish & wildlife habitat. A favorable factor of this approach lies in not disturbing the sediments, thus reducing possible food chain effects, resulting from re -suspension of contaminants, by burying them under clean material.

P90-1964 CLIENT: POHA-ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS CCIP90-196 INTRODUCTION: The geographic area covered by this study includes three small bays west of Baytown, Te::as: Scott, Crystal and Burnet, part of The Galveston Bay Complex.. These bays are in an area which has been severely affected by subsidence of the land surface, so much so that large areas which once were several feet above mean sea level are now submerged. With this subsidencb has come loss of a subdivision, and loss of important wildlife habitat. Particularly noticeable is the nearly total loss .of Goat Island which was an important loafing and feeding area for White Pelicans and shorebirds as recently as 1983. Loss of Goat Island has increased "FETCH" by more than 100% in parts of these bays, greatly increasing shoreline erosion. Loss of valuable wetlands and habitat of approximately 225 acres on the western side of Burnet Bay is also evident from study of old charts and aerial photos. Recent site visits show that only a few acres of Spartina Marsh remain, mainly along both sides of the long narrow strip separating Crystal and Burnet Bays. Much of this remaining Spartina marsh is being eroded away by the combined effects of wind driven and shipping generated wave action. Plans (H50) for deepening and widening the Houston Ship Channel call for "easing the bend' at Baytown Bend. As a consequence, a Major waterbird nesting rookery, not mentioned in the Galveston Bay Area Navigation Study (GBANS), will be lost. In the same plan easing of the bend at Lynchburg will destroy important mudflats used extensively as feeding grounds by wading and shore- birds of many species (also not addressed in GBANS). DURING 1990, the dredging of an area of shallow bay bottom habitat, at the southwestern end of Lostlake Dredge Material Disposal Site,- encroached upon Spartina marsh in a location where its replacement will be difficult . A recent site visit revealed that the potential further damage to the marsh is greatly increased by the nearby activities of the barge fleet. GOALS of this Study and Proposal: 1) Restore SUBSIDED AREAS 2) Restore, enhance and create FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT 3) Restore, enhance and create TRETLANDS 4) Reduce/Stop SHORELINE EROSIO17 5) Enhance RECREATION 6) Provide EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES 7) Demonstrate BENEFICIAL USES OF DREDGED MATERIALS 0 • PROPOSAL: (ref. Map - FUTURE) Use virgin dredged materials to rebuild Goat Island as suitable for the nesting Herons, Cormorants, Roseate and other birds, and feeding flats for shorebirds which displaced by the enlarged ship channel and re-establish habitat and wetlands lost due to man -induced subsidence. ADDITIONALLY: 1) Reduce shoreline erosion and improve water quality by "FETCH" Across SCOTT, CRYSTAL and BURNET BAYS; habitat Spoonbills will be wildlife reducing 2) By raising portions of these subsided bay bottoms into the INTERTIDAL ZONE, support the re-establishment of Spartina alterniflora, a marsh grass which reduces the force of wind driven wave actibn,on shorelines. 3) Provide, from the marsh thus established, increased nutrition through improved detrital components for these important shrimp nursery bays. 4) Increase, through improved water quality, the submerged marine grass habitat, restoring cover for young and larval forms of fish, crabs, shrinp and other species. 5) Provide new "Trip destinations" and overnight anchorages for recreational boaters. 6) Build sites for observation and study areas for formal and informal environmental education opportunities. ------------------------------------------------ BECAUSE 5 TO 15 YEARS MAY BE 14EEDED TO DE -WATER UPLAND AREAS, AND TO PLANT AND GROW THE TREES AND SHRUBS REQUIRED BY THE BIRDS after THE DREDGED MATERIAL IS PLACED FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE "NEW" GOAT ISLAND, IMMEDIATE ACTION TO PROVIDE HABITAT FOR THE BIRD COLONY WHICH WILL BE DISPLACED FROM ITS PRESENT LOCATION AT "BAYTOWII BEND" IS NECESSARY. ----- -------------------------------------- The H50 plan calls for upland disposal to be used in the "upper reach".
